England U21s scored a very nice victory over Germany tonight, twice coming from behind to win 3-2 & all this done without the help of Greg Dyke, Rio Ferdinand or Danny Mills. Quite remarkable.

So Phil neville on commentary telling us how they should find space for Harry Kane, Berahino & some other fucker, for the U21 championships in the summer, 'you have to find a spot for your best players'.

So Harry, will finish a long season, and instead of lying on a beach, he plays a full tournament, then has a quick break, then another full season, then off to the Euros with the full England team. And if he's fucked, or injured, that will of course be because he didn't have Christmas off.

Phil Neville, unsurprisingly, is right behind Greg Dyke's idea.

These people are fucking idiots.

To be fair to Harry Kane, he said in an interview a few weeks ago that HE wants to go to the championship with th U21's. Credit to the lad, he is playing the best football of his life and he just wants to continue playing football. We have a much better chance of winning the U21 tournament (now pearce isnt in charge), so let him play if thats his wish.

I've just seen a tv, & Pearce is there with Curbishley; he want's Kane, Shelvey, Wilshire, Oxlade Chamberlain & Phil fucking Jones in the team.

So these lads who have just beat Germany can all just fuck off, & sit on the bench. THEIR development as internationals doesn't matter. It's all about bigger names & trying to win the tournament, which of course is the most important thing & why we have U21s.

Stupid fucking bastards. This is the attitude which has ruined the development of kids in this country for decades.

City would take a bunch of 18 year olds & come close to winning it.


Thank fuck we have got all of these kind of morons out of our club.

Ahh SP, the tactical genius of "whacking the ball into the channels, and everybody work hard" alongside some fist clenching, back slapping and screaming passion. That's really served us well in football since 1990 hasn't it?!

Is this the longest international break known to man ffs. Bored shitless and waiting for some meaningful football again, rather than the bloody tedium of this past 10 days.

Both have Andros Townsend in the team for tonight. As he needs a game.

1 Thing that Pearce did that I liked and agreed with and wish Pellers would do is, if we are losing and the opposition get a corner, get our pacey players out of our own box and towards the halfway line.

I have never understood the concept of having everyone back to defend a corner. If we had one forward in the centre circle and one between the 18yard box and centre circle the opposition have to leave a minimum three defenders back, thus nullifying their attacking threat. We ourselves have probably conceded more from our own corners than we have scored from.

Attack is the first line of defence and all that

If wed had jayko or adebayor not defending many corners we'd have conceded a shit ton over the years. Ade esp was brilliant defending corners.

Perhaps we ought to have converted him to a centre-half.

Joke away keyboard-music lover but he was really honestly one of the best defending forwards I've ever seen.

Sorry not been paying attention to the international break but have just noticed that Ross Barkley has made the squad. Can anyone advise me what he has done to merit a place? Surely excellent form dictates you making the squad? He has been anonymous all season long.

Everton shop window perhaps? Who knows.

The US team I'm watching playing the Swiss right now is dire.

Michael Bradley is a bald cunt who gives other bald cunts a bad name. A complete joker like Donovan before him. An absolute shithouse when confronted with actual quality and the reason america will never win shit because we embrace dickweeds like this turd.

Watch him score a hat trick now...but he'd still suck ass.

Exciting lineup for England tonight.

Harry Kane, starting.

Phil Jones in midfield.

Might record it just in case it's worth watching again.
